This is the problem with Gingrich. When he takes positions that undermine conservatives I hate him. However, when he makes clear historically accurate statements like he did about the made up "palestinians" I love him. If he's our nominee I will vote for him and probably send him money.
The comment he made about Israel and the Philistines (that's who the palestinians really are) is a big time winner for him. Pubs have very little hope of getting the Arab vote, but they might pick up some of the less liberal Jewish vote. Even more important than the votes the discussion will serve to educate some people to the reality of the middle east.
